BRAVO! Simply leverage the extradition of fellow Ghanaians to the United States to laso the Piccadilly Armed Robber and ship his arse back to Ghana. The United States will find it very hard to refuse the request as it will be an act of reciprocity on their part. A lack of further cooperation on our part for future extraditions to the United States will make it difficult for them to refuse this request.

It's not just about reciprocal actions. It's about due process through the rule of law and court actions which always grinds slowly especially if attorneys put injuctions here & there.

You can believe what you want. That's the beauty of democracy. Even some believe thieves like Bawumia and the NPP can govern the country given what they stole and did to the country. Keep living in your fantasy world.

@NPP SENIOR CITIZEN, since 'Ghana is working under the great leadership of John Mahama and NDC government', that's why Okatakyie is asking for updates on those Ghanaians already convicted by courts of competent jurisdiction but are outside the Ghanaian jurisdiction now for whatever reasons. It's a legitimate request.

Why is this incompetent government concerned about the extradition of only Ofori Atta and not bothered about the fugitive Sedinam Tamakloe who has already been convicted for stealing millions of Cedis ? This incompetent buffoon of an Attorney General should rather go to court to prosecute Ofori Atta as was done in the case of the criminal Tamakloe instead of always engaging in press conferences.

This is long overdue. Since JDM came to power in 2025 many Ghanaians have been sent to the USA upon the USA request. How come Ghana government is unable to bring a single Ghanaian citizen from the USA upon request

@Ofson, the extradition request for Sedinam Tamakloe must either precede that of Ken Ofori-Atta or be made simultaneously for the two of them. Afterall, Sedinam Tamakloe has already been long convicted by the courts in Ghana. Interestingly, Sedinam Tamakloe and Ken Ofori-Atta are both living in the US. The A-G should avoid fuelling the perception that John Mahama and the NDC are pursuing selective justice. That isn't helpful for our democracy and the fight against public corruption.

What has kept these people from the Extradition process all these time ? These guys are paid by the state to perform their duties promptly. I don’t get it? Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta should have been behind bars by now. At least he should have been arrested and brought back to Ghana to face the consequences of his alleged involvement in criminal activities against Ghana. What kind of system do we have then? Bring him back immediately to face his own unpleasant music. .

QNET govt led by gonja mafia john mahama is being disgraced in the Kwabena Adu Boahen case so they are trying to divert attention.

They should bear in mind that any prosecution that they will secure under this mahama packed courts will be overturned under any future NPP govt.

They have set the ball rolling and the snowball effect is now in am unending loop.

If gonja mafia can discontinue cases before courts but go after his political oponents, then the persecuted side is left with no option than to correct the mess being created by this QNET govt.
